Summary

Including brand new material, this is the complete collection of Rebus short stories from the Sunday Times Number one best seller.

Over the years, Ian Rankin has amassed an incredible portfolio of short stories. Published in crime magazines, composed for events, broadcast on radio, they all share the best qualities of his phenomenally popular Rebus novels.

Brought together for the first time, and including brand-new material, this is the ultimate Rebus short-story collection and a must-have book for crime lovers and for Ian's millions of fans alike. No Rankin aficionado can go without it.

18 hours of Rebus. The man we love for his quirks and eccentricities and determination to play by his own rules. A literary hero you wouldn't really want to swap places with (except the bacon rolls and papers on a Sunday, fingers of single malt, the vinyl collection, the fingers firmly up at the establishment). Here we have a christmas stocking filler, little insights into what makes the man. Great stuff, and really well read. I think James Macpherson is the best narrator I have heard for the Rebus catalogue.
